With over nine years of experience in technical recruiting, I am passionate about finding and attracting the best talent for the technology world. I have a strong understanding of different roles and skills across the tech spectrum, from developers and testers to architects and managers, and I leverage social media and market insights to source and engage candidates. As the Lead Recruitment at Tesco Bengaluru, I partner with hiring teams and stakeholders to develop talent strategies, advise on hiring plans, and present candidates with niche skills and diverse backgrounds. I also maintain a high quality experience for candidates, clients, and recruiters, and contribute to the personal branding and employer value proposition of Tesco.
